The Tomatoes have grown to over an inch an so moved out of seed trays and into larger pots at their final destination. Above is a picture of the seedlings, these need potting and will probably get grown in the house.

Kohlrabi, Asparagus, Onions, and Lettuce
Sounds like quite a salad, but was quite a weekend. The Kohlrabi migrated from the seed-trays into the vege patch. Into the seed trays went 5 kinds of lettuce. Of couse, red lettuce is brassica not lettuce; and miners lettuce seeds don't look at all like lettuce seeds and so probably aren't lettuce either.
Red onion and green onion seeds went into trays as did asparagus seeds.
The rhubarb has started to show its head over the soil. As there is an abundance three plants were dug up and given to collegues. These were replaced with a different variety (Victoria) that were grown from seed last year (and kept in pots over the winter).
The tomatoes that were planted about 3 weeks ago (and I neglected to record) have germinated. They have grown to the size of a pin.
The brassicas planted a month ago need about another week before going into the patch.

Ground Peas
Put the peas into the ground. Two types, snow peas and regular peas. They were drained this morning then washed this evening before going into the vege patch. Basicly just mixed the compost into the soil with my hands and then pushed the peas into the mix to the depth of about 1cm. Lets hope we don't get any more frosts this spring.

Oh Peas!
Last night took the Snow Peas and some regular Peas and soaked them overnight. Tonight drained the water and rinsed. Also took 2 barrowloads of compost from the compost heap and spread it over the vege patch where the peas will go (hopefully) tomorrow.
As there is already leaks and onions in that section of the vege patch, compost was spread around them. Note... Onions survive the winter just fine. With luck they'll split some time in spring.

Brassica Germination
Planted 4 kinds of brassicas into one of the seed trays: Broccoli (Premium Green F1), Cabbage (Copenhagen Market), Cauliflower (All Year Round), Pak Choy (White Stem). The "plan" is to compare the seeds with the seedlings.
The Kohlrabu have germinated with nearly all peeking up out of the soil. Both the emerald and purple varieties have gerninated well.
The onions are showing signs of germination, but some are rotting. They get a white mold on them. I suspect that the seeds germinate then some mold sets in and they turn into little mold balls. None-the-less, it looks like enough will be successful to result in a first-round ready for planting in a week or two.

Kohlrabi
It took no more then 15 mins, but I found the time! Planted 20 each of the Purple and Emerald Kohlrabi in one of the seed trays. With some luck the green room will get warm enough during the day for these Brassica to do their germinating thing.
